What’s MCP all about? Comparing MCP with LLM function calling
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been rapidly gaining traction, going viral on social media over the past two weeks. The community has already built dozens of MCP servers across a wide spectrum of domains, extending LLM capabilities with external tools, services, and data sou...
Generate Laravel Apps from a Prompt
At Laracon 2025, we just demoed a new way to build Laravel apps: by writing a prompt! app.build is an open-source reference architecture for agent codegen, able to generate full-stack web apps from natural language. It handles everything from scaffolding the project to writing te...
TanStack DB with Sync – the future of real-time UI
Multiplayer UIs aren’t new. Tools like Figma and Google Docs have brought collaborative, real-time experiences to millions of users. But for most developers, building robust and scalable real-time applications has always been out of reach. Real-time is hard. The benefits are obvi...
Using app.build to Create Production-Ready Laravel Apps
In the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey, “84% of respondents are using or planning to use AI tools in their development process.” They don’t break this number down by developer language, but if they did, they would likely find a wide disparity between different languages. Whi...
How to Make the Most of Neon’s Free Plan
Note: This blog post was updated on October 31, 2025 to reflect changes in the Free Plan limits. Neon’s Free Plan is packed with everything you need to start building with Postgres – we’ve seen developers ship amazing things with it. If you’re new to Neon, let us share some tips...
Build Checkpoints For Your Agent Using Neon Snapshots
You can now create Neon snapshots via API. This new capability isn’t just useful for backups or disaster recovery, but also serves as a powerful building block for one of the most requested features in agentic platforms: versioning (or checkpoints). Neon’s snapshots, built on our...
How to Build a Full-Stack AI Agent
More and more teams are using Neon to power vibe coding platforms, so we decided to build one too – not as our billion-dollar-vibe-coding-startup-side-gig but as a public, open-source template you can use as a starting point to learn how to build codegen agents yourself. We calle...
Reusable Prompts: The Future of Starter Templates
Looking back at 2025, AI changed coding for good. Early in the year, skepticism around AI-assisted coding was still high and capabilities were limited. Now it’s clear that vibe coding has gone mainstream, and AI-assisted coding is the future of software engineering. That said, we...
Agent Skills in 2026
2026 is starting off hot, and skills are suddenly everywhere. The Agent Skills spec is now supported across all major coding agents and increasingly adopted by developer tools, including Neon. But let’s start from the beginning. The origins of agent skills The concept of agent sk...
add-mcp: Install MCP Servers Across Coding Agents and Editors
A few weeks ago, Vercel released add-skill (now npx skills), a CLI for installing agent skills across different coding agents and editors like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. It solves a very real problem: each tool looks for agent skills in a different place, which makes setup...
I Slop Forked Neon. You Should Too.
Agents are much better at using APIs, CLIs, and MCP servers than clicking through dashboards. That's why APIs matter even more in the age of agents. At Neon, we aim to expose all platform functionality through our open API — if you see an action in our console, the associated endpoint should be open too. To illustrate this, I slop forked the Neon console.
A branch-first dev loop for Neon: link, checkout and env pull
We're hard at work on the private preview of Neon Platform and along the way we're rethinking Neon's branch-first developer experience. First up: three new Neon CLI commands that turn branch-first development into a tight, repeatable loop for both humans and agents.
Introducing neon.ts: infrastructure as code for your Neon projects
As Neon turns into a platform with backend primitives for apps and agents, provisioning those primitives matters more than ever. neon.ts is our branch config and infrastructure-as-code file: declare your Neon services, get type-safe environment variables and program your branch settings, all in TypeScript. And you can try it today.
Introducing @neon/sdk, our new TypeScript client for the Neon API
The Neon API is open and follows the OpenAPI spec, so you can provision and manage almost everything you see in the console programmatically. But provisioning infrastructure over REST means polling operations until resources are ready. @neon/sdk adds an ergonomic, type-safe layer on top so platforms and agents don't have to.
